Natural Selection.

Grant Allen, in the Fortnightly Reuie,o,
has given an interesting article on Love.
He does not seem to agree with Sir George
Campbell who would have husbands and
wives selected for each other on scientific
principles. He thinks that the voice of
nature is far better than the dictum of
the Lord Chancellor or the Royal Society:
that it is not the foolish fancies of youth
that will have to be got rid of, but the
foolish, wicked and mischievous interior
enoe of parents or outsiders. This Is
quite in the vein of an address by DR.
Foote, Jr., at Metropolitan Hall, on the
oecasion of the first meeting of the Aux
Hilary Hereditary Association in this city
some years ago. If there is to be inter
ference it ought to be wholly on scientific
grounds, and scientific interference might
many times Offset to advantage the med
dlesomeness of parents and friends. The
best way would be to have young people
well instructed in the laws of tempera
mental adaptation and in everything ap
pertaining to Hereditary, and then leave
them to their own fancies.- From Dr.
Foote's Health Monthly.

''It was glorious"
| Now comes the painful part of my
story. From that moment Campbell be-
came a confirmed opium smoker. He
used to worry me by the hour with the
description of his horrible pleasures.
Day by day Campbell got thinner, yellow
er, and more haggard-look1ng. Wugsby
who had long ago christened him the
'heathen Chinee," declared that his eyes
| turned up at the corners, and that he was
growing pigtail. That was redicu-
lous exaggeration of course; but day by
day Campbell did grow more and more
like disreputable Chinaman. He became
careless about his appearance, and, to my
professional eye, it seemed as if he had not
| long to live. l demonstrated with him.
| but to no purpose; he confessed to me
| that he was now determined smoker OF

For nearly fortnight he disappeared
from the Rice and Curry Club; then I saw
the announcement of his death in the
Times. A week afterward Mr.. Blenkin-
sopp called on me at the Club.
sYou are DIR. Brown" he said-"Dr
Robert Brown

Campbell, was friend of yours?"

''It will amount to 100000, rather more
than less; it's all invested in Chinese AS
except the cash at the bank. But there is
a condition; I will read it to you"
| He pulled a document from his pocket
and read as follows:
| "But attach condition to the above
beouest; it is that the said Robert Brown
doctor of medicine, shall devote four
hours of his time pei diem, and sum OF
not less than $500 per annum, to The
amelioration of the condition of poor

vote some portion of his time to the study
of the Chinese language"

any size, from the most diminutive to the
most gigantic; nor is any form of bird
or beast an impossible impersonation of
them. The Skongman, the forest spirit
of Sweden, is like man, but tall as the
highest tree; he deeoys men into the
wood, and, when they have hopelessly
lost their way, and begin to weep for
fear leaves them with hooking laughter.
The conception is we'll nigh identical
with that found among the natives of the
forests of Brazil, showing with what I'M
lformlty similar conditions produce
similar effects on the human mind. But
the Russian spirit III eschi from Polish
word for wood are even more significant
for not only are the usual diabolical at
tributes assigned to them, such as the
leading of men astray or the sending to
them of sickness, but also the co1ven-
tional dibolical features. Their bodies
are after the human pattern, bat they
have the ears and horns of goats, their
feet are cloven, and their fingers end in
claws. The Russian wood spirit is in
fact the devil of medieval Imagination
and nothing elsa fact which
strongly supports the inference
that it is from she wood
and from the wind rustling over the tt ee
tops that the idea OF the supernatura al
agency of devils first took possession of
the Imagination of mankind.
1t is IN no way inconsistent with this
theory that besides devils of the forest
there are those of the air or water. The
conception is one which would have met
with no barrier to the extention of its
domlnions, and the devils of the tree or
forest would from the first be closely as
ISOLATED with, if at all distinguished from
| the spirit that moved in the trees and
was powerful enough to overturn thom
In this way the wild spirits of the woods
would pass insensibly into those spirits
| of the air which our ancestors Unidentified
with the Wild Huntsman, and which
English peasants still hear when they
listen to the passage of the Seven Whist
lers.
